I'm planning to reinforce my door and frame for better security, but I'm on the hunt for a decent lockable doorknob that won't break the bank. I need something that's strong enough and won't be easily compromised; especially resistant to novice-level lock picking techniques like raking or bumping. Any recommendations?

When you're choosing a doorknob, don't just focus on the physical strength. Tumbler locks can be picked easily, so look for locks that have features like anti-pick pins or bump-resistant designs. Some brands offer good security at a reasonable price, like Schlage or Kwikset.
Definitely, go for locks that mention anti-picking or pick-resistant features. Brands like Yale also have some great options that balance security and cost. It’s all about getting the best protection for price without skimping on quality.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll check out the brands you mentioned.
